Rollerball 1975
Things this movie taught me about the future:
- the aesthetics remain very firmly in the 1970s
- contact sports on roller skates are dominated by men
- you only need one font, and it doesn’t have to be legible
- it is possible to get negative points for the Bechdel test
- racism against the Japanese is still ~totally cool
- four is the correct number of TV screens to watch at any one time
- the cool kids…Translated from by -
The Graduate 1967
Every man in this film should go to jail, I cannot see what the women see in any of them. If you sliced into them it’d be like those Everything Is Cake videos but instead red flags would just pour out onto the table and slither onto the floor and just keep coming.
Some cool shots and good acting though the screaming 70s ladies are a bit irritating

Rain 1932
So there’s this tropical island where it rains a lot.
A woman whom it is implied enjoys the company of men, possibly for financial reward (it’s the 20s, I don’t think it’s said out loud).
And a smug self-righteous prick who I spent most of the film murdering in my mind.
It’s clearly a play made as a film, but that doesn’t spoil it. A big message on the moral crusading that was going through the film world at the time, and I absolutely want to be Big Joan’s character when I grow up (or at least have her style).
